Tackling Complex Childhood Issues Together
A venue for funders interested in early childhood
ECFC members tackle complex early childhood issues in their own states and communities with strong relationships with non-profit and government partners.
ECFC provides a venue for funders interested in early childhood to learn, share, and explore and maximize philanthropy’s in creating equitable and sustainable early childhood systems. We want to attract more funders to this field, and partner with those who fund in related areas like health, economic justice, and K-12 education, and advocate on behalf of children and families.
